"Today, I took my Dad to his favorite local restaurant for his birthday. He enjoyed the fish and chips, but unfortunately, my son and I opted for the new dish on the menu, Prawn Linguine. I must say, it was the worst meal I have ever had at the Three Legged. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she informed me that they have received other complaints, but the menu is controlled by headquarters. I found this confusing, as I believe any chef should taste the food before it leaves the kitchen. The waitress mentioned they are trying to remove the dish from the menu, but that didn't help us on this particular visit, which was disappointing. As a gesture of goodwill, the waitress took our coffees and dessert off the bill. Personally, I believe our main courses should have also been comped, but I didn't want to cause a scene and upset my Dad. Despite this disappointing experience, I will give the Three Legged another chance, as I know this is not their usual standard. I felt it was important to share my feedback in this review."

My husband had the fish and chips, the fish was a very large fillet and he thoroughly enjoyed it. There is a lovely outside area for when the weather is nice and also pods you can hire out.

"this is our third visit and there is no denial that kings arms delivers really high quality fresh home cooked food with impeccable service with a smile and the warmest of greetings. the three cheeses must be one of the best ever tasted, and the bark and red wine cake is there with the best! the homemade suppe (now tomaten and basilikum) was full of taste and filling. the main course of cajun lachs was perfectly seasoned, unfortunately I was uneasy, so it could not be the justness that it deserves. I've had puddings here before, and the crumb is as good as my mother and she makes a crumb to die. with 2 cures at £12,95 and 3 cures at £16,95 they can eat at the kings arms and enjoy the best and freshest eating at an extremely low price. we still need to try out the a la carte menu, we know that we are not disappointed"

"I absolutely agree with Kelly who posted a review earlier the same happened to us we walked in and five or six young members of staff stood looking at us , felt like we shouldn’t be there , no one spoke ,to us no good morning , can I help you ,we have r been before and didn’t know anything , had to ask can we order something , when I asked if they could pop the sausage rolls in a micro for a few seconds I got a um um yes we ordered and payed and sat down ,the service very slow no customer chat , we ate our food which was very nice ,but we didn’t get the tea,after a while I asked a girl if our t was coming she said yes I will get it ,10 mins later asked a different girl who said it was coming ,then eventually the tea appeared, we finished out tea and left , to be stopped at the door and told you havnt paid for your tea ,so I said I paid the amount you asked for , she said you didn’t order tea , I told her I had ,we wouldn’t have food without a drink ,she said well I didn’t hear you and can u pay ,which of course I did ,usually these little farms and cafes are very friendly , think you need a supervisor to Organise the running and service of the cafe"

"Had a lovely evening meal with family in this gorgeous restaurant. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is so lovely looking out over the beautiful grounds. The staff are very knowledgeable about the food and are extremely pleasant to deal with. Top marks and many thanks go to our lovely waitress who crawled on the floor under our table when my 90 year old mother broke her necklace and very kindly picked up all the beads for her. I’m sure that’s not in her job description haha! Highly recommended as a relaxed friendly place to eat."
